And such a lovely family sprang forth! Here are Sarah and Tara, Jeff and Lisa's two lovely daughters. They were the hit of the party, both being so helpful, pretty and nice. Tara is studying Latin and seeking a classical education; Sarah is trying to decide what to do after being 'too cute'.

Here are the Jeff Carter family, Tara, Lisa, Sarah and Jeff.

Martha, Jeff, Tara, Lois, Sarah, Susan and Rachel.

Lois with three children and three grandchildren.

Above Susan, with son's Joe and Sam.

Right, the group on the deck, featuring Dave and Samantha in the foreground.

Martha and her family, Emily, Tom, Rachel, Martha and Rachel's friend Mike.

Emily is a Sophmore at U of I; while Rachel is about to graduate from BSU and meanwhile is a hostess at a great restaurant; in fact I ate there twice the week after the party. Mike, we understand, is a baker at the best bakery in town. Hmm! Wonder if there are some 'family benefits' we could get here?
